National Employment Standards

The Fair Work Act
2009 introduced 10 new National Employment Standards
(NES) and a comprehensive Modern Award system which affect almost
every business in Australia.

The NES consist of 10 minimum conditions of employment that all
'National System Employers' must now provide to their employees and
set out weekly working hours, staff leave entitlements, termination
and redundancy pay.

For many businesses - even with access to dedicated HR resources
- this legislation can be complex and challenging. Without
sufficient knowledge or expertise, your business could be exposed
to unnecessary administrative complications and increased risks of
being prosecuted.

Remember that as an employer you are responsible for complying
with the National Employment Standards and heavy fines can be
imposed if you breach your NES obligations.
